The India Cricket Team captain Rohit Sharma’s future has been in doubt in the recent past. This was mainly owing to the Hitman’s poor performance in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. However, former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif holds a different opinion. He believes that Rohit will continue to play and will be safe playing till the ICC ODI World Cup 2027.
Rohit hit rock bottom after poor performances in the Test series against New Zealand and in Australia. This raised doubts about his future in red-ball and white-ball cricket. But he roared back to form in ODIs by slamming a magnificent ton in the IND vs ENG ODI series.

It is worth noting that Rohit is at the twilight of his career. Having already retired from T20Is, he will turn 38 years in 2 months. With his form dipping, there are major concerns about his future in the team. But Mohammad Kaif has brushed off these rumors.
“What Rohit Sharma has done as a captain is not everyone’s cup of tea. He led his team to the final of the 2023 World Cup. We haven’t played a lot of ODI cricket after that. God forbid, even if India play badly, the coaches may be in trouble but not Rohit Sharma. In Tests, you may look for a chance, but in ODIs, there is no question about his place,” Kaif said on his YouTube channel.

— Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif) February 19, 2025Kaif further added that Rohit has been a very good captain for India and his ODI record has been excellent. He predicted that even if Rohit falters in the ICC Champions Trophy he will remain safe for the 2027 World Cup.
“He has been in great form, hit a century and has captained the team really well. He has a fantastic ODI record if we look at the winning percentage. So, I feel even if the Indian team performs badly, Rohit Sharma will remain safe and continue playing till 2027 World Cup,” Kaif concluded.
